There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the failures. Sometimes it runs faultlessly for days and sometimes quite soon after a restart.

Only solution I can see is to restart Yawcam automatically during night when it is scheduled off anyway.

I now have Yawcam stop and restart at 5:15 every morning. This has worked quite well, other than I get a message that it can't find ????.??? (can't exactly remember the file name) but that does not stop it from running. But then I was away for a few days and Yawcam seemed to have frozen last night and a restart when I got back home fixed that. I am running v. 0.3.4>5 Build 2011-02-07 and even though I have not made any program update or any setup changes there appears to be a few changes and different messages in the console box over the past month or so. Very few, and most days none, error messages compared to a lot of errors that occurred before. Agreed, a little quirky...

since I've changed YAWCAM to just save the image locally and then ftp it to my webpage with fling, its been 100% reliable for over a month now. ( I guess I should add "touch wood" again

) Fling seems to be much better than YAWCAM at recovering from any connectivity issues, but unfortunately it cost a few $$.

I seem to vaguely remember it uses Sun Java ?.

There have been some updates to that recently so maybe ....

I have decided not to use the FTP function as it caused various intermittent problems already mentioned. I now use YawCam to create a file and then use Cumulus to upload the jpg file when doing the scheduled upload of data files. So far so good.....
